2012 Leadership Summit

The Leadership Summit is ACSA’s premier professional development event. This annual gathering of educators at all levels of administration is a celebration of the profession. The Leadership Summit provides opportunities for invaluable networking and offers professional development on current critical leadership and educational issues. In 2012, our goal of the Leadership Summit is to inspire our attendees to build and continue to strengthen their leadership skills. This year’s event promises to have powerful and insightful sessions, will offer many opportunities for attendees to learn from nationally-recognized speakers and also the opportunity to network with each other and celebrate the profession of school leadership. This event will have something for everyone. Whether you’re new to the profession or a seasoned veteran of education, the 2012 Leadership Summit will sharpen your focus to our changing world. If you can only afford to attend one professional development event this year, make it ACSA’s Leadership Summit.
